American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1991, vol. 73, issue 2, 313-325

Abstract: Little is known about local public services demands in rural municipalities and how they differ from demands in urban municipalities. Local public sector output demands in rural and urban municipalities in Victoria, Australia, are studied here using a system of equations approach based on the translog model. Expenditure, price, and substitution elasticities are reported. Demands differ between rural and urban municipalities and even among the (especially urban) subclasses.
